I do. In a previous job I had the most wonderful group of co-workers. I learned yesterday that one of them, who had cancer, has had a recurrence and her cancer is now quite an aggressive form. This is making me very sad today. So if you could say a prayer for my former co-worker and her family.

Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

Keegan has been treated for a corneal ulcer of her RIGHT eye since beginning of December. (She was treated for one of her LEFT eye in Oct)
It hasn't gotten better - its gotten worse. She is at the vet right now for testing as to WHY its happening and having surgery to fix it.
I know she's in good hands. Especially with Unkle Phred watching over her and thumping the vet to do it right.
We would just appreciate prayers that this works. Thanks

She did great with surgery. Seems to be adjusting tho she is fighting the cone.
She has to be treated with Glaucoma in that eye. Not sure if glaucoma started the ulcer or vice versa.
I on the other hand am a COMPLETE BASKET CASE. Everytime I look at her I freak out that something is different and should I call the vet. Just thinking of something going wrong makes me nauseous.

Oh, Staci, remember, even if the worst happens, she'll likely adjust just fine. We'll say a prayer that everything heals up fine, and I'm not going to tell you NOT to worry - that'd be as useful as telling a cat not to shed - but I will tell you to take a deep breath, count to four, then exhale, then do it again and count to five, and try not to wrry TOOOOO much.

My old high school friend was murdered by her boyfriend, who also went to high school with me. Her body was found Friday night. Please say a prayer for her family. Please say a prayer for his daughter - she's got to grow up knowing her father is a killer.

Also, an online friend died yesterday of a heart attack. He visited the message forum we belong to at 1:45 or so and by 5 was gone. I met him and his girlfriend in 1999 - which seems like a lifetime ago. Please also say a prayer for Kevin's family that they are able to get through this.

We spent Christmas day in the Emergency Room. My husband woke up with chest pains and I whisked him over the the hospital by our house without a second thought to the holiday. Turns out that he did NOT have a heart attack, but he does have atherosclerosis and he was not getting enough oxygen to his heart, hence the constriction in his chest. He has been in the hospital for two nights and will have an angioplasty tomorrow.

What did I get for Christmas? A second chance.. . .

I've been Boo'd... right off the stage!

I'm having my gallbladder removed tomorrow (Monday) morning. I know it's a routine surgery, and it's laproscopic which makes it easier, however I'm terrified. If you could please say a prayer that everything goes smoothly and the recovery is quick I'd very much appreciate it.

Thanks and God bless

I had my gallbladder out in May 2007 - it's really not bad. Just make sure they monitor you and don't send you home too early. Sending prayers for you!

It is NOT pneumonia (hooray) just a very bad upper respiratory infection. he also has a UTI. Any infection when you have Lymphoma is bad but pneumonia would have been even worse

they took some blood cultures and it will take about 36-48 hours to get the results from those. They are trying to find out if he has any kind of blood infection. If he doesn't then that's good... they can probably fully treat him and get him better. if it is... that's not so good and we'll just have to wait and find out and go from there

The good news is he is doing a little better today. Improvement of any kind is good so we are glad to hear that. He was feeling pretty horrible yesterday so to hear he's doing a bit better today is great.
